We learn that onr editorial re?
marks, yesterday, were construed
into an endorsement of F. A. Saw?
yer, one of the candidates now strug?
gling to be elected by the Legisla?
tura to tho place once filled by
MoDtiffie and Calhoun. No such
impression was designed to be con?
veyed. If there be a man in the
radical ranks, politically disgusting
to the people of South Carolina, it
is this samo Frederick A. Sawyer.
Ho came to Charleston, from some
placo in the North, before the war,
and received and enjoyed the hospi?
talities of tho citizens, until tho
strugglo commenced, in which our
life and liberty were involved. Then,
Judas-like, ho kissed tho hands of
those whom he betray ed, and showed
tho cloven hoof of a double-dyed,
double-dis tilled radical. Ono of the
first to recognizo negroes as being
thc political equals of himself and
associates, to urge their olovation to
place and power, he now seeks to
foist himself into tho halls of Con?
gress, whore, wo suppose, he will
ploy his brief part in what is called
.'reconstruction." "Wo hear that
some charges have been made by his
radical associates, that F. A. Sawyer
is a Democrat. Heaven savo tho
mark! A man so utterly and irre?
trievably lost to every consideration
that binds a white man to his raco,
who has not hesitated to publicly
declaro that a negro is as good as
himself, is beneath any but tho most
scathing notice. If he bo a Demo?
crat, F. A. Sawyer must go beyond
the confines of that South Carolina
which ho has deceived, to bo recog?
nized as such. The Legislature is
welcome to all such "Democrats,"
and wo bid him God-speed in his
associations.
A PB?CIJAMATION FBOM THE PRESI?
DENT.-In complianco with an Act of
Congress, passed on the 25th of last
month, tho President has issued a
proclamation annouueing that tho
Legislature of North Carolina has
ratified the pending amendment to
the Constitution known as "nrticlo
fourteen." Tho President makes
reference to his having received tho
resolution of tho Florida Legislature
ratifying the same, but announces tho
fact that it was passed prior to tho
Act of Congress mentioned, which
Act is prospectivo in its bearing.
For this reason, doubtless, tho action
of Florida is entirely ignorod. Tho
tenor of the proclamation shows that
Mr. Johnson is determined not to
recognizo tho reconstructed States.
He speaks of receiving a paper "pur?
porting to bo a resolution of tho
Legislature of Florida," from "Har?
rison Reed, who therein sigus him?
self Governor." Again, tho other
paper was, ho says, "transmitted by
and under tho name of W. W. Hol?
den, who therein writes himself
Governor of the State of North Ca?
rolina;" and so with tho other parties
whoso signatures aro attached. All
of this, tho New York Herald thinks,
implies that in his official capacity
tho President recognizes neither Mr.
Reed nor Mr. Holden as Governors
of their respectivo States.
TIIE STATE OP AFFAIRS IN JAPAN. -
The latest telegraphic nows from
Japan has been fully confirmed by
tho letter of the special correspond?
ent of tho Herald, in Yokohama.
The causo of tho Mikado party ia
for tho present in tho ascendant.
Tho causo of tho Tycoon is not, how
evor, altogether hopeless. Ho rep?
resents tho party, of action and of
progress-a party which must ulti?
mately win. Tho pooplo aro with
tho Tycoon, tho noblos uro dividing
in his favor, and, strange to say,
even roligiou is lending its help to
the causo of progress. Tho High
Priest of Kioto, tho Popo of Japan,
has condemned tho socular toudoncics
of tho Mikado. According to tho
High Priost, tho province of tho
Mikado is spiritual, not temporal.
His assumption of temporal powor is
at onco derogatory to his dignity and
dangerously revolutionary m its ten?
dency. Tho presumption is that a
ro-actiou will set in in favor of tho
Tycoon. Still there is but small
chanco that the sorrows of Jnpan will
soon bo onded.
Hole-in-the-Day, tho "big Injin,"
who died from a bolo mado in his
head, leaves sovu-ral wives to lament
his murder.
Wno Made tlio Nomi limions 5
Ia order to produoo dissatisfaction
among the Dem?crata of the West,
the Herald, Times, and Tribune, of
Now York, and many other papers,
are striving to make it appear that
Tammany Hall controlled tho Da_I?
oratio National Convention, and
worked the wires so as to seonre the
nomination of Horatio Seymour.
Nothing, the Richmond Dispatch
thinks, oould be further from the
truth. The fact is precisely the re?
verse Tammany Hall and the New
York politicians wore outwitted. The
TPcrW speaks the truth when it says,
that "tho nomination of Governor
Seymour was, in fact, fairly forced
upon Now York, and upon Governor
Seymour himself, by the 'Pendleton
men'of tho Ohio delegation." The
Commercial Advertiser, ono of the
shrewdest newspapers in tho country,
understood tho real workings of tho
Convention. It says:
"WHOSE GAME WAS IT?-The
Herald is mistaken as to whose game
has been played and won. It was
Pendleton's, not Seymour's. It is
true, Pendleton did not succeed in
obtaining the nomination for him?
self, but in all else, ho was absolutely
tho dictator of tho movements of the
Convention.
"Tho South was victorious in tho
selection of candidates. Tho North?
ern rank and file of the party wero
extremely desirous for the nomina?
tion of Chase, and many of tho
Northern delegates shared in this de?
sire, prompted though it was by fear.
But tho Southern wing of tliG party
again asserted its supremacy, and un?
der tho skillful management of tho
Pendleton-Vallandigham manipula?
tors, they floored Chase, Hendricks
and Hancock, and placed Horatio
Seymour upon the platform."
Tho New York Sun, edited by a
loading radical writer, says :
"We havo no doubt that ho (Sey?
mour) was perfectly sincero in do
oliniug it, and that ho really did not
wish for it. Tho idea that both he
and his friends of tho New York
delegation wero guilty of duplioity
and trickery, is as absurd as it is un?
just. Governor Seymour was nomi?
nated, not becauso he aud his col?
leagues played a deep gamo for the
nomination, but becauso it had be?
come plain that there was no other
man in tho party who could so ap?
propriately as himself be selected as
tho standard-bearer of tho Demo?
cracy."
Tho Now York Citizen says :
"Wo say emphatically that Chase's
rejectiou by tho late Convention was
not a thing of sound or calm judg?
ment, but was a thing of strategy,
organized and carried out by meu
personally devoted to tho fortunes of
Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, and there?
fore resolved to kill Mr. Chase, who
hailed from tho samo State, and
whoso nomination would, therefore,
kill Mr. Pendleton's chances for the
next eight or twelve years, uudcr
Democratic ruling."
Tho Citizen is not mistaken as to
tho fact that Taramaii}' Hall had
nothing to do with the nomination.
The Herald's story is absurd. It is a
sort of metropolitan brag game.
STONY POINT, ABBEVILLE DISTRICT,

Mn. EDITOIJ: Yours of tho 10th,
just received, contains in your column
of local items, a list of the Democra?
tic Senators and members of the
Houso of Representatives, now sit?
ting and representing themselves in
tho city of Columbia. But you fail
to note tho fact that tho Rev. Valen?
tino Young, a staunch .Democrat, was
elected to tho Senate from this Dis?
trict, by an ovrcichelminy radical ma?
jority. For this reason ho refuses to
tako his seat, and has so published
tho fact.
Tho Rev. R. M. Valentino, too, I
see, has taken his seat as a Repre?
sentative from this District. Ho was
a worthy freo negro Ante Helium,
and has borno tho character of au
honest Democrat "siuco freedom."
Ho, however, was elocted by tho samo
ballots that sont Snead Martin aud
his confreres to Columbia. Now, is
not this a commentary upon radical?
ism and universal suffrage? What
would Horaco Grcoloy think, of a
Now York radical votiug for a Demo?
cratic legislator? Ho would simply
say ho had no right to vote. Oh
tcmporn; Oh mores. Respectfully,

"Shall tho interests of negroo3 and

election? This is tho question now
presented to tho peoplo of this coun?

calling tho attention of the Legisla?
ture to the excessive rates of taxation
imposed by tho Towu Council of that
plaoe, was received aud referred to

SILVER STREET, July ll, 18G8.
Tho society met, and was called to
order by tho President, Michael
Werts. The proceedings of tho last
meeting were read and adopted.
On motion of W. R. Spearman,
tho followingresolution was proposed
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That, the National De?
mocratic Convention haviug unani?
mously nominated the Hon. Horatio
Seymour, of Now York, and the
Hon. F. P. Blair, of Missouri, for
President and Vico-Prcsidout by tho

cordially endorso tho nomination,
and will heartily givo it our support.

mitteo of fivo members bo appointed
by tho President.
Tho Chair appointed the following
gontlomen: Daniel Goggans, Dr. G.
W. Spearman, J. 13. Worts, Dr. S.
G. Welsh, and W. G. Peterson. Tho
Chairman then introduced to the
colored men present, James Minor,
colored, from Columbia. His re?
marks wero good, and he, to the
utmost of his ability, endeavored to
persuade and con vi nco them of their
error in adhering to the radical party;
that their best frionds wero tho
whites, who had reared and support?
ed them, from infancy to old ago.
Ile used such languago that they
could easily comprehend him, and
proved to them that, if they expected
to livo with tho white man, they
must act iu concert with him. Ho
was very earnest in his remarks, and
is a true Democrat.
John Leo, colored, also from Co?
lumbia, was next introduced to them.
Ho was quito witty and sarcastic in
his remarks; explained to them the
object of tho radical party in makiug
such a great effort to obtain their
votes; and seemed to bo well in?
formed as to thc character of that
party.
Tho colored mon present wero so
thoroughly imbued with tho ideas of
radicalism, that it is feared but little
impression was mado on their minds.
An accession of several whites and
one colored was mado to tho society.

PROPOSED POSTAIJ TELEOHAPH SYS?

bill in tho Houso of Representatives,
on Friday, to incorp?rate tho United
Statos Postal Telegraph Company,
and to establish a postal telegraph
system. It appears that this ia a pri?
vate company and enterprise; but
tho bill authorizes the Postmaster
General to make a tou years' contract

CLEANING THE STREETS.-A gang of
hands has been put to work by Mayor
Baldwin, to clear away the grass and
debris from the streets. Posh the
work along, Mr. Mayor, and have

WHAT IS THE REASON?-Alderman
Greenfield, as we are reliably in?
formed, prepared a respectful memo?
rial to the Legislature, requesting an
order for an election for municipal
officers at an early day. This memo?
rial was signed by all the white mem?
bers except Alderman Hemsen; and
by none of the colored members
except Alderman Taylor. What rea?
son the objecting members assign,
we cannot conceive; as it was gene?
rally understood that the present
officials were to be but temporarily
in authority. The attention of tho
Legislature is called to tho matter.

"DON'T SQUEEZE, THERE'S A DEAR."
Tho corset is not a necessary part of
a woman's wardrobe, and, alasl whou
a woman does begin to wear corsets,
she will wear them too small, and
will tug at the laces until her breath
becomes short, and she feels it
nocossary to refrain from anything
like a comfortablo meal. We say
nothing against a well-shaped corset,
worn loosely, but thoro lies the dif?
ficulty.
A loose corset injures the appear?
ance instead of improving it, and
people wear corsets that they may
have small waists. All wo can say
is, don't squeeze, whatever you do.
You may have small waists, but you
are exposing yourselves to a dozen
misfortunes which aro as bad as a
largo waist. First, you'll surely
have dyspepsia and grow yellow
and cross and unhappy; secondly,
your hands will grow red; thirdly,
your noso; fourthly, yon will be
unablo to walk a milo at ouco; fifth?
ly, dinner will bo a misery; sixthly,
your shoulder-blades will grow weak;
sevonthly, you will break down at
thirty or thereabouts, aud be a sick?
ly woman from that timo forth. If
theso truths do not frighten women
from tight corsets, perhaps thc in?
formation that gentlemen gouerally
do not admire what dross-makers
call a "protty figuro" so much as a
natural ono, may have somo iutlu
enco.
NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.-Special at
tention is called to the following ad?
vertisements, published for thc first
time this morning:
R. W. Barnwell-College.
Morns' Cotton Gins.
Jacob Levin-Auction.
A correspondent of tho New YoVk
Herald furnishes a letter from the
island of Juan Fcrnaudoz-once the
homo of Robinson Crusoe. This
correspondent, who is an old tra?
veler, by no means fancies this fa?
mous island. Tho attempts to colo?
nizo it have all proved abortive, and
nineteen souls now constitute tho en?
tire population, and theso eke out a
miserablo existence by fishing aud
hunting, having no bread of any kind,
and but few vegetables. Tho islaud
is mountainous, is covered with tim?
ber, and produces few varieties of
fruit; but tho the waters abound in
fish of almost every kind. The
charm thrown around Juan Fernan?
dez by DeFoe's narrativo of Robin?
son Crusoe is rudely dispelled ns we
are made acquainted with the island,
a most uninviting placo, certainly,
